Stop Instagram From Ruining Your Photo Quality (2025 Fix)

You take a stunning photo, edit it perfectly, upload it to Instagram, and... it looks like trash. Blurry, pixelated, and full of artifacts. Why? Because you uploaded a file that was too big.

The 'Double Compression' Trap

If you upload a 5MB high-res photo, Instagram's aggressive algorithm panics and crushes it down to 100KB instantly. This brutal process destroys details. The secret is to do the compression **yourself** first.

The Magic Settings

• **Width:** Resize to exactly 1080px wide.
• **Format:** Convert PNG to JPG (Instagram hates PNGs for photos).
• **Size:** Compress it until it is under 500KB using our tool.

When you upload a 400KB image, Instagram's algorithm leaves it alone. Your photo stays crisp, sharp, and professional. Compress your next post now and see the difference.
